The section is entitled "New ARF Feedback Type", and those last two paragraphs 
are discussing the report type and its structure.  Seems legitimate to me.

We aren't defining a whole new report format here.  We're defining a new report 
type that has a few new fields but otherwise has the same format as any other 
ARF message.  And the new report type itself is referenced in an existing 
field.  It's all about fields.

But if it will get us to publication, how about calling it "ARF Extension for 
Authentication Failure Reporting"?

We can just remove the reference then.

Yes, "per Section 7.3" is probably more precise.

I don't agree.  Section 3.1 defines the new feedback type and augments [ARF]'s 
field requirements.  The latter is part of the former.

Right, fixed.

I updated it (had some typos), and replaced it in -07.  Thanks.
